Here you go. This one has a few miles on 'er.

If that what this is called?  That's what I use for long CAP trips, camping, etc.

Awesome.

I've also got a parachute bag which is about 1/2 the size, similar config, that I use for carrying less stuff.

In the Navy those were just called parachute bags.

Here is a solid kit bag.

And yes it's probably to expensive.

Nice bag, but Captain CreepyStare isn't doing them any favors.

I have a Kelty BRT for my 72 hour gear and use a discontinued Eagle backpack for a daypack/overnight bag.

www.cheaperthandirt.com  ;D :clap: ;D amazing MOLLE and much more, and its all CHEAPER THAN DIRT

Just a fair warning that everything I have ever purchased from cheaper than dirt has been defective and useless.   Just FYI

Really? 'Cause all of the reviews for the bag I'm looking in to are Great! :clap:

I've purchased items from Cheaper than dirt and they must be seconds, the stitching either isn't complete or lined up correctly.  I had one where the Pocket was stitched closed.  Another Pocket where the bottom to the pocket wasn't stitched and so on.  I've purchased magazine where the follower wouldn't push rounds to the top, or the top was defective so that it would lock but the last round wouldn't feed and so on.

After trying four different products and returning all four, I'm just not happy with Cheaper than Dirt.  YMMV.

Try www.guerrillapacks.com
The have a Voltij - 55L 10L - Adventure Backpack for $150 that has a removable daypack included.  It is available in orange so whichever way you wear the pack it doesn't restrict your visibility to others as badly as Molle or army surplus gear.  Just my 2 cents.

In my opinion you have no business owning a GORUCK until you have EARNED it by completing a GRC.

Also, cheaper than dirt sells garbage. Save up a little longer and buy something real. Not everything that looks cool and military really is. CTD is selling GI 5.56 magazines for $99. They need to go out of business ASAP.

Well, GoRuck has no problem selling their products to anyone who wants to pay the premium price for them. So..
In fact, that's the whole point. To sell merchandise. GRC is a fun marketing method to sell their products, not a pre-requisite to making a purchase. In fact, they don't even require their own products to be purchased to participate in their events. Though showing up with something else .. would probably be kinda like wearing Trax shoes to PE. ;)

I picked up a Sniper Daypack from Guerilla for school at the beginning of the semester, and I haven't been impressed.  I carried a laptop and textbooks in it daily for about 3 weeks before I started noticing that it was starting to develop minor rips at numerous points around the bag (top handle, main pocket seam, laptop pouch seam).  After four months it's starting to fall apart.  Admittedly, I'm fairly mean to my bags, but the $10 Walmart special that I used prior to this help up much better and for longer than the Guerilla Pack.

I'm a glutton for money wasting. :)
I buy a lot of cheaper stuff to test it out and let others know of the success stories.
Admittedly the success stories are few and far between.

[lmgtfy]molle gear[/lmgtfy]

Just expect to pay more for molle and it also depends on color.  Multicam is about double of other colors.
Look for the colors that nobody wants. I got a 3 color desert ruck put together for less than a $100. The same thing in ACU would probably be about $650. In Multicam, probably about $900.

If I hadn't been stubborn about wanting 3 color sustainment pouches, it probably would have been about $75. You can get Multicam sustainment pouches for about $20. I spent about 35 on 3 color desert.

Don't worry about it being color coordinated. The Frankenstein look will let yours stand out, be easier to find.

So my Voltij arrived today.
Other than the orange color being slightly off the color pictured (which could be due to lighting, exposure, etc) I can't find what makes this a 'promo pack'.
All zippers, clips, fasteners, attachments and seams look good. All three bags are included so it isn't missing any parts.
I'll toss my gear in it, carry it around and let you know how long it takes to explode.
Thanks again!
